“Claire what are you doing here?” Trent asked the same time I asked my aunt. The two most hated people in my life show up to ruin my happy moment! This is just not my day after all…
The smirk on Claire’s face grew as she pranced up to Trent. “Oh Trentyboo when I heard that the ugly faced Jessie asked you to go to a competition with her I just couldn’t let that happen and get away with it!” She looked over at me. “So I did a little personal research on the competition and found out that little miss nerd over here was in it. Doing what any other good person would do I when to an adult-“
“Which was my aunt?” I growled, taking a step towards her. There was a sudden anger that flared up inside of me that moment. Why would she do this to me? I mean I never bothered her before…..oh.
“Yes, Faith what have I told you about skating?” My aunt demanded while making her way over to me. “I told you that you were never to set foot on ice again! Then what do you do? Oh you decide that I am going to disobey my guardian and get on the ice!”
“Look I am so-“ I began but was cut off by the force of my aunt’s hand against my cheek. I stumbled backwards towards Trent who was there to catch me. I looked up at him through my tears to give him a fake ‘I am ok’ smile.
Trent didn’t seem to buy it though as his eyes clouded over with anger and concern. “How dare you touch her like that?!” He practically roared. “You are a monster that doesn’t deserve to have her in your life! She is an amazing person and you treat her like crap.”
Shocked crossed everyone’s face as they stared at Trent in astonishment. I couldn’t help but feel the slightest bit happy at what he was going through to save me in this situation.
“Young man do you know who I am?” My aunt asked quietly.
“Yes.”
“You know that I am her guardian, correct?”
“Yes.”
Her face turned red with anger as she knitted her eyebrows together. “Then how dare you talk to me like that?! She is under my care and I can do what I wish in situations like this because she is mine!”
“She is nobody’s!” He screamed, gripping my arm tighter.
I winced a little at the pain but did nothing but bury myself deeper into his shoulder, fighting back the tears that threatened me. My face burned from how hard she hit me and I knew for a fact that it was going to bruise in the morning. I glanced up at the ceiling from Trent’s shoulder and silently prayed that my parents would help me out.
“Trent why don’t yo-“
“Shut up Claire! I am tired of listening to your pathetic voice. You have been nothing but trouble and stress from the day I met you,” he snapped while pointing his glare at Claire.
Her eyes narrowed. “What has happened to you Trent? Forced yourself to lower to her standards… What you want to play the pity game now?”
I felt Trent’s body tense up and mine did to. She couldn’t possibly know what happened could she? I mean the only people that know are my family, who barely remember it, Jessie and her family, then Tucker. I knew for a face that Jessie wouldn’t say anything about it and neither would the twins because they didn’t care. That meant the only person that could have told her if she does know was Tucker.
“What are you talking about?” Trent asked.
“Faith didn’t tell you? Oh no that is quite a shame….”
“Tell me!” he snapped, squeezing me tighter to him. Please tell me she wasn’t talking about what I think she is…
“Faith’s parents are dead Trent. What she failed to mention was that they were also the couple that got killed in the jet crash the night they used the jet your father gave to them.”
I felt my heart stop as I took in the words that left her mouth. Detaching myself from Trent I backed up, “That was your jet?”
“Yes, but I didn’t know it was your parents that were killed in it Faith! I only knew that they had a daughter!”
“Sure Trent you keep telling her those lies. Make her fall in love with you just so you can give her the pity speech…” Claire mumbled with a serious looking face.
“Faith listen to me I promi-“ Trent began.
“No! Leave me alone Trent… I don’t want to hear it.” I whispered, shaking my head in disgust. “Is that why you went on that little hunt? To find the girl who could ice-skate because you knew that she would be the daughter of the crash that your father’s jet caused? So you could pity me and tried to be all sweet so if I ever did find out I wouldn’t get mad because I would be so deeply in love with you!” I screamed while shoving him in the chest. He didn’t move much though because he was much stronger than me.
He reached out and grabbed my wrists. “Faith you have to trust me, please.”
As much as I wanted to there was a side of me that wasn’t letting me trust him. The side of course was winning over the side that did want to trust him. Shaking my head I backed away from him and towards the door.
“Where are you going?” My aunt asked in her usual demanding tone. Walking up to me she gripped my arm and forced me to turn and look at her.
At this moment I didn’t care who she was or what power she held over me. Ripping my arm from her grasp I glared at her, “Home.”
“Good we can talk about this when I get done talking to the manager.”
“I am not going to your home! I am staying with Jessie.” I didn’t give her time to reply as I walked out the door towards Jessie’s mother’s car. She was sitting there bobbing her head to One Thing by One Direction when she saw me walked towards her.
“Hey what took you so long?” She questioned with a bright smile on her face. “Where is Trent? I thought he would be with you?” Suddenly her face turned into a frown as she took in my features. “Faith what happened?”
I shook my head. “I just want to go to your home… can I stay with you guys for a while?” I began to sniffle as I felt Jessie’s arms wrap protectively around me. I laid my head on her shoulder as we walked the remainder of time to her car.
“Sure honey, you can stay in my brother’s room.” She cooed softly trying to cheer me up a little. Her brother was a junior in college. He rarely called but did show up sometimes to pay a visit. Like this week for instant, he was down paying a visit.
I felt bad that I was going to take his room from him so I shook my head in disagreement. “I can’t take your brother’s room; he is down this week isn’t he?”
“He won’t mind Faith; you’re like a little sister to him too. He won’t mind sleeping on the couch…” It was true though, he was like a brother to me. We all grew up together, him being the protective brother over me and Jessie which was typical for all brothers of course though.
“We will have to ask him first though….” I said a little uncertain.
“Faith!” Trent called.
Mine and Jessie’s head snapped backwards to see him running towards the car at full speed. “Jessie drive!” I ordered, curling myself up into a ball. “Please just drive.”
At that same moment Trent jumped in front of the car and placed his hands down on the roof. “Please Faith let me explain!” He begged.
“Move out of the way before I hit you Trent!” Jessie shouted while revving the engine. “I don’t know what you did but I don’t like seeing my best friend like this so I am not afraid to hit you right now!”
I looked up to see Trent not staring at Jessie who was threatening to hit him but me. I felt the tears swelling up in my eyes as I just sat there staring at him. How could someone I thought was so sweet only be playing a pity game….’Move’ I mouthed to him with a blank expression.
He lowered his head and moved out of the way. His arms fell limp to the sides of his body as he slowly backed away further. It was like something had died inside of him because his normal glow was gone and replaced with something that made him look half dead. He looked up through his bangs at me one last time before we stared to pull out of the parking lot.
I felt my heart hurting, I knew what it was but I didn’t know that it would hurt this bad. I only had him for a few minutes and I couldn’t help but fall deeper and deeper in love with him every second I spend in his warm embrace. I couldn’t believe I let myself believe that he actually cared about me though… his little plan was ruined because of Claire which I might be thankful for about.
But what if he was telling the truth and he really didn’t know that it was me. What if his plan to find me was really because he fell head over heels for the girl that gracefully took him in through skating? How could I have trusted Claire anyways? She is a no good lying bimbo blonde; she could have just made it up to get me to leave Trent alone… Then there was Tucker. Tucker was the only person I knew would tell the blonde anything she wanted to know. How could I have trusted that jock in the first place…
“Faith we are here,” Jessie said softly while patting me on the shoulder. “Come on honey let’s get you inside, you look like crap.” Leave it to Jessie to say something like that while I am in a state of depression. Though I guess I should know that she is only trying to cheer me up.
I tried to move but my legs didn’t want to carry me. I just sat there staring out the front window of the car at the slightly different shaded garage of Jessie’s house. I didn’t speak, I didn’t move, I just sat there like a dead corpse waiting to be buried in the ground. Of course that sounds like a good plan right now… I would rather rot in a hole then live with the pain that I am in right now.
“James! Can you come help me right quick!?” Jessie yelled at the house, cupping her hands to make her voice louder.
Seconds later James appeared around the corner. He was much more built than what he used to be, his skin was tanner but I guess that is because he plays soccer… in Florida. His dark brown hair swooped to the side of his head just covering up one of his brown eyes. He got his brown eyes from his father of course, both of them were good looking men.
“What’s up sis?” he asked while crushing Jessie in one of his famous bear hugs.
Jessie pushed him off and pointed to the car where I was sitting. James face darkened in anger and concern as he walked over to the passenger side door. Opening the door he squatted down next to me so that he was eye level with me. “Faith what happened?” he asked softly while brushing some hair out of my face like old times.
It was then that I broke down; I began to cry my eyes out. I tried my best to cover up my face but that didn’t work out very well as James pulled me into his lap so that he could give me a comforting hug. I laid my head on his shoulder and cried into his shirt.
“Shhh Faith its ok…. tell me what happened.” He demanded softly while rubbing circles on my back.
I told him what happened after Jessie left to get the car. I told him how Trent was lying to me and only wanted to play the pity game because he felt bad that his jet killed my parents. I then told him how my aunt slapped me across the face which left a mark.
James tensed up and slowly lifted my face before removing the hair that covered up my cheek. He gasped at the sight and I felt myself crying into his shoulder again. Lifting me up he carried me into the house where we were greeted by their mother.
“What happened to my daughter?!”
“Mom I will explain, James you comfort Faith for me.” Jessie ordered while ushering her mother into the kitchen.
James sat me down on the couch and walked over to the T.V. “Want to watch your favorite kid movie?” He asked with a small smile. “You know the one I think is horrible… but you know I will watch it without complaining.”
I couldn’t help but laugh a little as he reached in and placed the movie in the DVD player. “You know you love the movie Jam, just admit it already.” I nicknamed James Jam because his favorite food when he was little was Jam and also his name had Jam in it. He would put Jam on everything, and I do mean everything…
“No little sis, I love you and care about you, that’s why I put up with your horrible taste in movies.” He said with a chuckle. Walking over to the couch he plopped down next to me and pulled me close to him so that I could lay my head on his shoulder. “I will make every person that hurt you pay.”
“Thanks James,” I replied softly. “I am glad you are here… I need my big brother here to help me out. You’re the only person who fully understands me.”
“What about Jessie?”
“She understands me but she doesn’t fully understand if you know what I mean. Most of the time big brothers are the ones that really help out.” I glanced up at him for a second before turning my attention back to the screen.
“I have your favorites Fai-“ Jessie’s mother said but was cut off when the doorbell rang.
Who could that be?
